A week ago I posted my $137 account after losing nearly $29,000.
Today, that account closed at $1,513.80.
The biggest win isn't the money
It's finally following my rules
Discipline > Emotion.
This is only the beginning.

Three years ago, I started trading options.
Since then, I’ve lost nearly $29000.
Today, my account sits at $137.
This isn’t a sympathy post. It’s a receipt.
Every dollar I lost came from poor risk management, chasing trades, FOMO, and a lack of discipline.
I’m done treating the market like a casino.
Starting today, I’m rebuilding from $137 with a different mindset:
• Risk management comes first
• No revenge trading
• No FOMO entries
• No breaking my rules
• Every trade documented and reviewed
I’m not trying to get rich quick.
I’m trying to become the trader I should have been from the beginning: patient, disciplined, and consistently profitable.
Posting this so there’s a public record of where I started.
Day 1. Account: $137.
95% of trading mistakes happen before the trade is even placed.
Entering too early.
Risking too much.
Trading because you’re bored.
The chart wasn’t the problem.
